Again There la Talk of a White
I Republican Party
Dr. J. J. Molt waa at Darham ail
day yesterday In conference with Maj
W. A. Guthrie. They are both lead
re In their r-pitive partite and are
hearty supporters of fasion. The
Cl arlottrt Observer lays it is believed
that both are amino to eee a white
man's republican party in this state
and hat they hope to attain this cad
by a continuation of the fualoa move
ment for two more yeara. They think
by auch course they can land the
whole of that part of the
white vote which ha left the
demoeratie party and went to tha
populiata safely in the republican
camp. They aay that if they can
keep the populist line against democra
cy two more years they think they
will have them safe. Then they will
be relieved of the fer which the talk
of independent action on the part of
the negro vote has caused. Walter R.
Usury waa at Durham yesterday,
seemingly enjoying a short talk with
Major Guthrie.

NOTHING DECIDED
QUESTION OF EXTENSION
OF THE H.CR.E. LEASE
To the Southern Railway Wan
Today Considered.
Yesterday president 8. B. Alexan
der and director Robert F. Hoke, Lee
8. Overman and W. C. Maxwell, eom
posing a special committee appointed
by the board of directors of the North
Carolina railway, met here en very
Important business. Last evening the
committee called on governor Carr
and had a conference regarding the
extension of the leaae of the road to
the Southern railroad. The present
lease has six years yet to ran and the
Soathern wishes to know whether the
governor and directors are favorably
inclined for an extension of the lease.
The North Carolina railroad ia an im
portant part of the Southern's leased
linea and ia made doubly so now that
the Southern intends to use the part
of it between Greensboro and Selma
for Its freight route to Norfolk. Vice
president Andrews met the com
mittee today.
The North Carolina road last year
gave a net return in excess of the lease
money of nearly $16,030. The South
ern is already looking to the equip
ment in high class style of tha eaatern
division of the North Carolina road.
The committee represents the whole
etock of 14,000,000, 13.000,000 of
hich belongs to the state and $1,000,
000 to private holders. The Southern
paya for the lease $273, 0C 3 per an
num, of which $180,00) is interest to
the state, $60,000 to the private stock
holders, $10,000 taxes and $23,000 for
general improvements. The net earn
inga of the N. C. railway by the last
report were $289,000, so that the
Southern made $16 000 net.
The meeting, or rather conference,
today waa of considerable length. Col.
Andrews presented the proposition of
tbe Soathern, which is for a 99 year
leaae at the same rate as at prBent.
To this the committee did not agree
and so really nothing was done to
day after all. The committee thinks
that a larger rental should be paid, in
view of the fact that the value of the
property to the Southern ia in the
committee's opinion greatly increased
The Southern did not make any pro
position to re-equip the road.
President S. B. Alexander was in
terviewed and said that there waa
quite an extended conference with
Col Andrews, but that nothing defi
nite was done, and that the meeting
may result in something or it may be
resultlesa. There was a rumor on the
street of a difference between Col. An
drews and the committee; in other
words that they were at cross-purposes,
butCapt. Alexander denied this,
and said the meeting was very friendly.
He declared that all the matters con
sidered go over to a future date, it
being agreed that he is to call the
committee to meet again at any time
thought proper. ' '
The committeemen appear to think
that the differences now existing be
tween the state and the private stock
holders, in regard to the taxation of
the North Carolina road will be settled
ere long.
Bad State of Affairs In John
V ston. '
A prominent farmer of Johnston
county informs the United States

two men, one of whom has died. Tbe
moonshiners suspected a woman who

The Wrought Iron Range Com
pany Liable
Today state treasurer Worth re
ceived a telegram from Maj. W. A.
Guthrie, dated at Roxboru, aaying
judge Starbuek bad decided the case

sent quantities of its stoves to certain
plaeea and there distributed them.
But now it will have to pay taxes.

two of ita wagons to enforce the pay
ment of license tax. The company ob

WILL II ANC HKIt HUSBAND.
The Fifth Wife of Holmes Will
Testify Against Ilhu.
Indianapolis, Iod .July 23. Infor
mation that came to tbe surface here
today shows that Mrs. Georgians How
ard, wife of Holmes, alias Howard,
alias Mudgett, the botcher now un
der arrest at Philadelphia, has turned
against her husband, and that she is
ready to assist ia placing in the halter
around his neck. Fr m what Mrs.
Howard said it looks as if rhe will be
the most valuable witness against her
husband which the prosecution has.
Mrs. Howard would not say in plain
words that she knew of the different
murders, but she said enough to show
that she has been carrrying tbe Se
cret knowledge of the crimes ever
since she separated from Holmes,
shortly before his arrest, but that
only since the finding of the bodies
of the Piettel girls Jdid she make a
clean breast of her story. Mrs How-
rd waa Holmes fifth wife, and en
oyed hia confidence to a great extent,
is is significant that she was in In
dianapolis on August 7, 1893, when
Howard' Pietml disappeared. She
was also in Toronto with Holmes a
month later, when the two sisters are
supposed to have been murdered, and
she was also in Chicago under Holmes'
protection when Annie Williams is
said to have been killed.
MR. BUSBEE'S VIEWS.
He Says Free Coinage Is OK,
and Cleveland Will get no
Third Term.
Fablus H. Bnsbee, Esq , was at the
department of justice at Washington
yesterday. He also has an assign
ment case before the internal revenue
bureau. From this city he goes
t Greensboro in the Benbow case con-
nested with the Cape Fear & Yadkin
Valley railroad before tbe Federal
court. He tells the Charlotte Obaer?
ver he regards the situation, as. very
favorable for the free ooiqage of siN
ver, both iu this country and abroad
He ia 8,(1 strong a free coiner as ever,
and sees nothing to discourage the
cause. Alluding to the report' that
president Cleveland seeks a third term
be observes: "1 doubt it, even if Gen.
Wade Hampton did say it. It may
mean merely the efforts of eome of hia
friends to commit him to the policy.
which could not fail to he disastrous.
The president, great patriot and states
man that he is, oould not favor a third
term which is opposed to all our dem
ocratic and American ideas. The nom
inee for a third term would be over
whelmingly snowed under la North
Carolina and elsewhere."
REMNANTS.
Gov. Carr offers $200 reward for the
persons who set fire to and destroyed
the mill of G. W. Conley at Lenoir,
Caldwell county. It waa the second
time the mill was thus burned.
The North Carolina railway con
struction bonds referred to yesterday

for acorued interest.
